'Nightfall' Magic In Colt Park

Letter to the Editor

There was magic in Colt Park on the evening of Oct. 11. Night Fall, the celebration of the season and of art and imagination and of Hartford took place there. There was a trio of giant monkeys, neon bugs and graceful flowers on stilts, an ethereal goddess of the sea, and much, much more, including a little history of Colt Park and the Colt family too. There was music, dancing, rap, and stunning giant puppets like none you have ever seen.

Thanks go to the many volunteers who worked on the production, to those who provided funding which made it free to the audience, but most of all thanks go to the head magician who made it all happen, Hartford's stunningly imaginative Anne Cubberly.
